A brand new liver and an epiphany about what is important. No more waiting for 'someday' to start diving into things that strike my fancy, because 'someday' may never come. Perhaps you share in my interests. Take a look around and if you see something you like, I might be willing to part with it or build something custom to your desires. I'm still creating and collecting.

cigar box amplifiers

What good is a cigar box guitar without an amp, so why not make cigar box amps. The problem I have with the other cigar box amps available online is the fact that they cut out the face of the cigar box for the speaker. Without the face of the cigar box it's just any old box without the cool label. To keep the coolness factor, I build the the amp inside the box. No one knows what you're carrying until you open it up. These also work great to plug in your ipad or iphone.  

 These were built in the summer of 2015. The knobs were usually the hard part, such as crown nuts with inserts or in one instance a stack of pennies. Do you know how hard it is to drill holes in pennies?!

 Looks like an ordinary cigar box . . . sorry, I meant extraordinary cigar box. Why would anyone cut a big hole in these?
